    I have had glasses sooooo long, that ***on the lenses doesn't bother
me..I'm used to looking Thru junk...
   But I've decided that I must have accidently shrunk the fonts using the
mouse wheel and the ctrl key.  So when I reversed the process, I got the
fonts big enough to see clearly.   Somebody up the thread mentioned that,
but I kept spinning the mouse wheel the wrong way...since the fonts were
already at their smallest...nothing 'seemed' to happen.  If at first you
don't suceed....  ;)

   Thanks for all the tips and advice fellas...

I totally agree with you on that, although these new ATI drivers don't
e*** me to much.

ATI is getting just about as bad as Nvidia with several driver release's in
the past 6 months.

That is one thing I liked about 3Dfx, they wouldn't release a driver until
they got it right, well almost right, :-).

You might want to chech your Monitors Convergence, if it's adjustable.  That
can cause fuzzy text too.
